Self-driving car

Juniper Foo | Apr 27, 2007

Stephen King created the ultimate scary self-driven (in more ways than one) car with the angelic name of Christine. Christine, however, was no sweetheart and pure road rage on four wheels. Now the US Department of Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) appears to have taken a leaf right out of the horror meister's book. Trading in the 1958 Plymouth Fury for a Chevrolet Tahoe, it's pimped up a car that's designed to drive itself. Meet the Boss, a robotic vehicle which comes armed with 25 lasers, cameras and radars to sense objects and directions. Car pool, anyone?
